Compact Electric Skateboards

The 'Arc' is a Small Skateboard with Powerful Mobility Capabilities

— September 6, 2016 — Tech
Created by Arc Boards, the 'Arc' is a small skateboard with an electric motor that will enable riders to glide through cityscapes without having to use any physical power.

Capable of reaching speeds of up to 25km/h, the 'Arc' board can allow a rider to go up to 18km on a charge before needing to recharge.

The impossibly light design of the 'Arc' board is just 3.5kg in weight and much more compact than even other non-electric boards on the market. This makes the small skateboard an ideal option for commuters who want an efficient way to help them along the way during their trip to and from work.

The 'Arc' board is currently available for preorder now on Kickstarter with shipments set to start in March 2017.
